Has anyone found a gluten-free protien bar? I am finding it hard to add protien to my diet while I am on the road and in between workouts.

There are some Balance bars that are gluten free. Just check the label because they will not hide anything :D They will list wheat,rye,barley,oats if it contains any

We get the bars from Gluten Solutions. They are an average of 15 grams of protein a bar. We like the mint bars the best, also the Double chocolate are good. The peanut butter chocolate chip are good too. Open Original Shared Link type in the word bars in the search and a lot come up. They are almost all out of stock right now because they are so good! Also try ANDI bars, they are similar.

We use these because they are soy free and I am allergic to soy protein, which many other bars contain. The whole family can eat these.

God bless,

Boost Nutritional Drinks have a protein based drink. I believe that all flavors are gluten-free except Chocolate Malt B) It says right on the can if it is gluten-free or not.

I often take:

Lara Bars

Clif Bars (the new ones that are Gluten-free Casein-free)

Organic Food Bars

with me when I'm on a trip. They are an aquired taste, and some people never like them.

i think that some of the Think Thin ones are also dairy free but i am not 100% positive.

I could not find any of the gluten-free Balance Bars, is there a list anywhere?

Michelle - are you looking for one with low sugar? Organic Food Bar is really good (the one with chocolate chips) but isn't low sugar (though it isn't high like most other regular ones, either). It has agave nectar in it, and dates, but it tastes better than a Lara Bar (I know how much you love those! ;) )

PS on the Gluten Free part - they do offer some with barley grass in them (the "green" bars) and I wouldn't recommend them just in case of contamination. I wouldn't recommend any barley/wheat grass product, in fact, for that reason.

Michelle,

The bars I mentioned above (the ANDI bars and the Gluten Solutions/Aunt Candace bars found at the Gluten Solutions website) are all dairy free as well.

I like the Genisoy bars (most aren't gluten-free, though, so you have to check). I've tried the Larabars and I don't mind them--not something I would eat constantly for the pleasure of dates and other dried fruits, but it's not terrible...and that's a pretty good review, me being a picky fourteen-year-old :P

Where do you find the Kraft South Beach bars? I am assuming you mean the meal replacement bars and not the cereal bars, right? There was something on the ingredients in the cereal bars that made me think they weren't gluten-free (was it barley malt or oats, or both??). anyhow, I have never found the meal replacement bars...

Balance will not hide anything....just check the label for wheat, rye, barley, oats. I don't think they have a list because they have that policy.

:( I'm not having any luck here :(

The only gluten-free Clif bars that I can find (according to their website) are the "Nectar" bars - which have a measly 3 grams of protein. They might be good snack bars, but I definitely wouldn't classify them as "protein" bars.

The Think Thin bars have whey in them - which is am profoundly allergic to. It's not that I have lactose intolerance here guys! It's an allergy - not just casein or lactose that I have to avoid. I need to stay away from whey too! (Which really sucks because it's in so many things!)

The Larabars are okay - but, again - *weak* source of protein. Geez if I'm going to pay $1.49 I want more than just a few grams of protein!

Genisoy has whey :(

Balance Bars have whey :(

And the Organic Food Bars look good - but they have sesame in them - which I'm also allergic to. :(

My allergies suck! (dairy, eggs, sesame) :angry:

Any other ideas?

Please? :(

Miss Roben's has a no bake granola bar/trail mix mix. They are free of: Free of: Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Egg, Soy, Corn, Potato, Yeast, Sesame according to the website.

I have made them before and they freeze really well (just wrap in saranwrap and freeze). You just have to add corn syrup and I added peanutbutter and sunflower seeds. I believe. Which would give you more protein. You might give them a try. I liked them

one more side note on those bars, when it says dairy free it means free of : Free of Dairy: Includes all casein, whey, & lactose, & derivatives.

bean, I would suggest making your own. I make some with hemp seeds, walnuts, cranberries, and lemon juice that are decent on protein (because of the seeds). I've also made some in the past with rice protein powder in them to bump that up. Taking out the dairy along with the wheat makes it tough!

I eat the Genisoy bar that is Chunky peanut butter and fudge (or something like that). It is gluten-free and mmm soo good. Plus it has 14g of soy protein/serving! I buy them by the case full.

Elev8 Me bars are excellent gluten free energy bars for those endurance athletes out there.

Also, I have found it the best to just make my own protein bars. Do a google search on homemade protein bars, and use one of their recipes, and just compromise.

You can substitute with whey protein, soy protein, or rice protein powder. I made some with puffed rice, protein powder, almond butter, etc......and they were very good. I just cut them up and packaged them for the road. That way, they don't have all that extra junk in them that protein bars do. Shorter the list of ingredients the better.

Hey Hey. Things aren't that bad. I have dairy, gluten and soy as well. Life goes on :)

I like LaraBars but I agree with you on the protein issue.

What 'bout these?

Thanks for that link! :)

I've been looking at the ANDI bars (haven't ordered them yet). Has anyone tried these? They are from the Autism Network for Dietary Intervention. Here is the site: Open Original Shared Link

They have 15 grams of protein each! And are dairy/gluten/egg/sesame free! (Well, *most* of them are egg & sesame free ;))

Please let me know if anyone has tried them :) I'm going to be ordering some soon and will report back with my findings :)

Thanks again for everyone's help :)

Sounds like there's someone else out there with the same problem I have! I was diagnosed with celiac within the past 5 years but had symptoms my whole life. I'm used to eating strictly gluten-free. But I just found out I'm also allergic to dairy, eggs, red meat, sesame, and am very suspicious of soy.

I used to eat Balance Bars-- the Almond Brownie and Mocha ones were safe. But they have whey. I'm having a terrible time trying to find a protein bar. I am hypoglycemic and must have protein on hand for a quick fix. Carrying around a hunk of meat I can just tear chunks off of is unrealistic.

If anyone with similar allergies can give me suggestions, especially re: products and COOKBOOKS, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

But the ability to do so seems to be connected with the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel which often takes 2-3 years in adults after attaining to consistently truly gluten free diet. But you will just have to test the waters. Experimentation with those foods is the only way. Realize also there are thresholds of tolerance. You may be able to consume those foods without issue but not as often and in lesser amounts than in your pre celiac days. So, start small and go slow.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Welcome to the forum, @Waterdance! Constipation and diarrhea are classic celiac symptoms and hemorrhoids is usually the outworking of either or both of those two problems. But I'm curious about your statement, "I probably don't fit the diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease." Perhaps your understanding of what that encompasses is outdated and deficient, as is also true of many physicians. Actually, now there are over 200 symptoms and medical conditions that have come to be associated with celiac disease and the list keeps growing.  And you use the term "gluten intolerance". What does that mean to you? Actually, gluten intolerance is a catch all term referring to two different gluten disorders: celiac disease and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by ingested gluten triggering the immune system to attack the lining of the small bowel. NCGA or just, gluten sensitivity, for short, is a reaction to gluten that is not autoimmune in nature (neither is it an allergic reaction per se) but it's symptoms overlap with that of celiac disease. We actually don't know a lot about NCGS yet but some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease and it is 10x more common that celiac disease.  There are some blood antibody tests that are pretty specific to celiac disease but they require that you have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months prior the blood draw. Having the blood draw done while being gluten free or even having been on a reduced gluten diet will invalidate the testing. There was a recent article posted in this forum about testing being developed that did not require breaking a gluten fast but it is not available yet. When and if it is, that will be a giant breakthrough because so many people experiment with the gluten free diet before they ever get tested and can't safely utilize the "gluten challenge" because their reactions are too severe. So, they can't distinguish whether they have NCGS or celiac disease and must live with the ambiquity.  There are also some people who react negatively to all cereal grains. You may be one of them. Technically speaking, gluten is found only in wheat, barley rye, and some cultivars of oats. But all cereal grains contain proteins that more or less are similar to gluten and, apparently, similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some people.  Have you experimented with non-cereal alternative grains like buck wheat or sorghum? Can you substitute potatoes for grains to get calories? Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)/histamine intolerance? This could also explain the problems you are having. You are not going to want to hear this because you will feel like you are starving but the Auto Immune Protocol Diet will probably make you feel a lot better.

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Hi and thanks for this place to ask questions. I have been diagnosed with a gluten and milk allergy but so far I have no Celiac diagnosis and honestly I probably don't fit the diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease. I've come here because I'm having problems and you all would be knowledgeable about gluten free diets.   An allergist diagnosed me with a gluten and milk allergy about 15 years ago but she said "if you eat a lot of it, don't worry about it." This haunted me because I did not eat a lot of it but it was in my diet. Going 100% gluten free was daunting so I struggled with lowering my intake and observing results when adding it back. Due to aging, I think, the problem is worse now. I know ingesting gluten almost immediately causes a hemorrhoid flare up. It's very painful and I have severe chronic issues with it and even one surgery which did not solve much and the problem came back with vengeance. I know from my own experiments that I can build a tolerance to gluten in my diet but overall if I want to avoid chronic pain and discomfort I should just eliminate it entirely.   When it comes to my diet, I found not only gluten to be problematic but all grains! This is terrifying to me. Keeping a grain free diet was difficult and left me hungry all the time.   My question for you all is do you have any tips to help me live on a grain free diet sustainably long term? And Do any of you know of or heard of hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea being main symptoms to gluten intolerance?

Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.
